Post by: janaage on Friday, April 1, 2005, 14:43:56 No chance of JA being there, MK was brilliant, but I've got the mrs' mum coming up from Cornwall so there's no way I can get away to Hartlepoo. Roll on next Saturday.

Then again depends on traffic, and I don't know how you drive :wink: I'd go, A429, A45, M69, M1, A19, A689, but then I don't live in Newbury. I would be going if I wasn't working as I've never been to Victoria Park, and strangely I've always wanted to. Title: Hartlepool - Whos going? Post by: Whits on Friday, April 1, 2005, 15:10:42 alright maybe 4 and 1/2 ;)
Can't believe traffic would be to bad, but then again there are people still on school holidays :? it will be fine 8) Title: Hartlepool - Whos going? Post by: Asher on Friday, April 1, 2005, 15:20:41 leaving at 7.30am, 12 lads mini bus (well transit with sofas in teh back) should be a good laugh
Title: Hartlepool - Whos going? Post by: Whits on Friday, April 1, 2005, 15:22:03 if i see it on the motorway i'll give ya toot, hope you'll have a swindon flag in the window 8)
Title: Hartlepool - Whos going? Post by: janaage on Friday, April 1, 2005, 15:26:52 M1, M18, A1 (M), would be the best way once you get up towards Sheffield! That's the quickest way I find.

Asher, make sure the back door is locked or Whits may pass a couple of sofas doing 60 on the inside lane. Title: Hartlepool - Whos going?

Title: Hartlepool - Whos going? Post by: janaage on Friday, April 1, 2005, 15:43:44 D'oh I just read all of those directions and see that they say go M18 way. That'll teach me to not read the finer details.

Title: Hartlepool - Whos going? Post by: walrus on Friday, April 1, 2005, 22:58:48 ANYONE who goes to that match, even Gary Stanley or J1mmy, is a fucking legend. 500 miles is a rediculous distance to travel, but fair play if anyone does it. BIG BIG game, lets hope we get some form of result.
Title: Hartlepool - Whos going? Post by: Anonymous on Friday, April 1, 2005, 23:07:50 I'm going but my plan is stay u pretty late (3 ish) then go to bed then wake up for coach, fall asleep on coach makes the journey seem shorter
Title: Hartlepool - Whos going? Post by: Asher on Friday, April 1, 2005, 23:07:55 Legend - My mum will be proud!
